Please,

Arrive on time! It is not fair to your child or the other children if there are interruptions.
Stay in the library while your child is at story time.
Do not give them food, drinks, or toys before entering story time.
Call us if your child won't be attending.
Siblings are welcome as long as they are not disruptive to the program.
If you are in the story time with your child, please stay focused on the activities. Background conversations are distracting to everyone.

Throughout the year we offer special programming; registration is required unless noted that it is a Drop-in program.
